In the United States alone, over ten million people--many of them women and young adults--are known to suffer from the heart condition known as Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome (MVPS). Countless others with chest pains, fatigue, dizziness, depression, migraines, or anxiety attacks are totally unaware that symptoms may be MVPS related or even that MVPS is treatable.

As a Family Physician I see LOTS of patients with MVP who have multiple symptoms and questions. I stumbled across this book one day in the medical center bookstore. I ended up buying it buy the case to have available for my patients. They recommend it highly. J. Phelan, MD

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book!! Easy to understand!, September 17, 1999

Thanks so much for writing this book. I was beginning to think I was losing it! Now I know better. This book helps me to understand my symptoms so much better. I didn't realize there were so many different symptoms related to MVP. I thought all the symptoms I was experiencing were "in my mind", now I don't feel so alone out there. Thanks again, Ms. Frederickson for writing this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly recommended., August 17, 1999

This book has been a real life saver for me. I have struggled with MVPS for many years. None of the medical experts in the UK mentioned that there was a syndrome associated with MVP which had all of the associated symptoms I was experiencing. This book has changed my quality of life, I cannot thank Lyn Fredrickson enough. I thoroughly recommend this book.
